Ah, we got this guy. We got this guy. Well, he’s got 91 counts against him, couple of indictments, liable for sexual assault, it’s OK. It’s OK. He’s liable for fraud, might have to pay hundreds of millions, may completely go bankrupt and lose all his homes, but we’re waiting on that....

MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski tore into President Biden’s aides and staffers on Wednesday for what she described as a lack of competence in managing his public appearances. “I think his staff needs to own his age. I’m going to be honest, I don’t think they do a good job helping out the president,” Brzezinski said on “Morning Joe.” “I’m just saying if you are managing a president’s schedule and a president getting on stage and off stage … and yes, he’s 80. You need to be there for him and you need to make a pathway and you sure as...

“Three decades of globalization — defined as integrated, free-market based and deflationary — has been replaced by what will be a multidecade period of globalization defined as fragmented, not-free-market-based but industrial-policy based and structurally inflationary. This year, 2023, is Year One of this new global order.”This reflects Brzezinski’s early strategy to transform the world as he wrote in Between Two Ages: America’s Role in the Technetronic Era:“The nation-state as a fundamental unit of man’s organized life has ceased to be the principal creative force: International banks and multinational corporations are acting and planning in terms that are far in advance...

MSNBC anchor Mika Brzezinski said Friday on “Morning Joe” that she believes “many Republicans aren’t smart enough” to understand the difference between the actions of President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump when handling classified documents. Brzezinski said, “Politically for Democrats, the obvious immediate reaction here is ‘ugh, are you serious? Democrats were on such a roll. Republicans are now going to pounce on this, ugh.’ This downplays the significance of the Trump document scandal, right? I would suggest not so much, not so much at all. Classified documents in private hands is something Republicans downplayed constantly until the...
